Will SB rest a few? Big question. I reckon this is the team Greggsy Dave Big H Davies Robbo Elmo Jake Meyler Clucas Maloney Akpom. Big Tom's birthday tomorrow. I wouldnt be surprised if he plays instead of Meyler. It'd be good if we can rotate successfully without losing the quality. Regulation 2-0. We kick on from here.
Pay on the gate. The Tigers are back in action on Monday when they travel to take on Preston North End (KO 3pm) and any supporters who haven’t pre-purchased tickets will be able to pay on the day at Deepdale. Steve Bruce’s side will be looking for their second win in 48 hours following the Boxing Day victory against Burnley while Preston will be hoping to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat against Huddersfield. Travelling fans can purchase tickets on arrival at Deepdale by heading to the Away Ticket Office in the Bill Shankly Kop. Tickets are priced as follows: £24 Adults £16 Seniors (65+), Students (in full-time education, proof needed at turnstiles) & 16-18 Year-Olds £8 Under 16s £2 Under 8s (only available when bought with a full-paying adult)
Kinell. Alright Mr Ceefax. This is deffo the one we win 4 nowt. Huddz to score from outside the penalty box, couple for Chubba and a nice bit of trickery from Snodders. Who will kiss the badge.
4 nowt no chance. This is gonna be a 12 goal thriller, 8-4 to the mighty Tigers. Snoddy to bang in 4 free kicks. Thudd to smash it in Martina style from inside own half. Called it.
I get the feeling Diomande might just start upfront for this one. McGregor Odubajo Maguire Davies Robertson Snodgrass Huddlestone Livermore Clucas Maloney Diomande Looking forward to a trip to Deepdale (although I've been told, there's not much about the place to look forward to!)
Philip Buckingham @PJBuckingham 3h3 hours ago No concerns over the pitch at Deepdale for #hcafc's trip to Preston tomorrow as we stand, despite the recent rain
Hi all , Preston fan here , no danger at all of the game being off despite some terrible weather in the Preston area over the last 24 hrs - today has been a more pleasant day and the pitch has drained superbly and the weather forecast suggests no issues at all We have been pretty solid of late and its fair to say we put in our worst performance of the season at Huddersfield when for 60 + minutes we just didn't turn up , clearly the quality you have in your squad should see a comfortable away win against a side who has only scored more than one goal once this season and if you score first you've a decent chance - our record when conceding first is no points from seven games , on the plus side we have kept eleven clean sheets this season and consolidation for me and that means 4th bottom is our aim , we play similar home and away and I think it will be pretty tight - 2/3 goals at most in the game but not the walk over a few of your fans seem to think ( although looking at the second half v Burnley I did shudder a bit ) Have a safe journey over and all the best on your quest back to the Prem after tomorrow Mortis
6/4 City win with some firms… !!… might pay for the day out… the trouble is the 3 relatives I took to KC yesterday were asking about coming. I'm having to lie and say it's ticket only…. It was strange being in the South Stand…!!!
Congrats to Brucie for getting it right for the second time this season - interestingly exactly the same starting 11 as started against Boro except Dawson played for Davies - hopefully he sticks with the same line up tomorrow and doesn't start tinkering with a winning formula - funny how much better we play if we pass to our own players
Anyone know if we're expecting to take many? Made a late decision to drive over in the morning so hoping for a decent turnout. I'd be starting huddlestone and Snodgrass for this one, maybe Akpom too depending on hernandez
Haven't all the other football managers decided he is **** and **** and terrible and not right for the team? Not a popular suggestion DH...
I'm not his biggest fan but Meyler hasn't done much for weeks, and Bruce clearly doesn't think much to Hayden
I reckon Hayden might come in midfield tomorrow, with another striker coming in for Abel H, only because we didn't use any strikers from the bench yesterday! Probably Hudds & Akpom in though!
